SDMorris Posted May 7, 2010 Report Share Posted May 7, 2010 So, looking on sonic electronix, I'm pretty much down to these speakers. Alpine Type-R 5x7: http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_8551_Alpine+SPR-57C.html#tabs Rockford Fosgate Power T1682 6x8: http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_19508_Rockford+Fosgate+Power+T1682.html I need to make a purchase FAST. Which one of the two would you buy? Or quickly recommend another speaker with a short explanation of why? Quote DC AUDIO 06' Lancer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OrionStang Posted May 7, 2010 Report Share Posted May 7, 2010 I have used these alpines and kicker ks680s. IMO the kickers sound better and can take more than the advertised 60rms. I have not heard the fosgates. Quote SMD Super Seller My Feedback Thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Id make the decision based on what amp u have.

SDMorris Posted May 7, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 7, 2010 These? http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_11502_Kicker+KS680.html Hmm, was never really sure about Kicker as far as mids and highs speakers go. How much better would you say they were? Quote DC AUDIO 06' Lancer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here's the thing, im buying the speakers first then the amp. So it doesn't really matter. I am just trying to find the best sounding speakers Quote DC AUDIO 06' Lancer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OrionStang Posted May 7, 2010 Report Share Posted May 7, 2010 Just sound more clear to me. Neither is anything really special, I just think the kickers are cleaner. Quote SMD Super Seller My Feedback Thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OrionStang Posted May 7, 2010 Report Share Posted May 7, 2010 Have you considered modding the vehicle for 5 or 6 inch round components? Quote SMD Super Seller My Feedback Thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SDMorris Posted May 7, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 7, 2010 Have you considered modding the vehicle for 5 or 6 inch round components? No I haven't. Does it make that large of a difference? I know several companies include adapter plates to mount a 6.5" speaker in a 5x7" hole. Quote DC AUDIO 06' Lancer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OrionStang Posted May 7, 2010 Report Share Posted May 7, 2010 A good set of 6 1/2 speakers almost always sound better than that oval stuff, more options too. Quote SMD Super Seller My Feedback Thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
